Got carried away!
Hello,
Here's some pictures of the carrier i have just got for restoration.      I'm new to the carrier world, so any help and advice would be gratefully recieved. Really happy with what i've got, most of the armour is complete and not to rotten. Can spend the weekend looking at what else i have. John john

Hi John, that is a good project ! A friend just up the road from me bought the other carrier from Hughes.
Looks like they were both stripped and cut to the same degree. It should not take long to do . If I be of help just from me a line

I've got a hillman waiting it's turn. I've been collecting parts for a couple of years now, could do with some rear body parts.  Will put some more picture up later, john

Hello Jeremy,
Yeah the new kitchens gone on hold, the misses is very understanding...and thats the part of this i've not told her yet!!!  I have promised to do the tilly before i start the carrier, so i think i've met her halfway.  Looking forward to working out what i do have and what i don't and where i'm going to find it. Had fun pushing it up the drive with the FWD which made light work of it. John
